Thisstudy analyzed the fiscal situations of every district government in Taiwan, and found that most district governments have fiscal problems. Some district governments, such as the governments of Yilan County, Hsinchu County, Miaoli County, Taichung County, and Tainan City need to cover the fiscal problems by raising public debt, making the revenue less than the outstanding debt. Ifthe Executive Yuan, based on the regulation of public debt, limits or prohibit the district governments to raise public debt, there would be serious impact on the expenditure on compulsory education and infrastructure. Thegovernment of California, USA, is a typical example. |
